The LogicLab setup-kit allows the customer to create and distribute a custom version of the LogicLab IDE, additional components and catalog.

To create your custom setup-kit follow this procedure:


REQUIREMENT

  • The login and password assigned by Axel for your customer page at [1]
  • A working directory ex. L:\Test\MyCatalog
  • Inno Setup compiler available at [2]


CREATE YOU FIRST SETUP-KIT

The first time Axel releases to the customer a setup-kit archive that contains LogicLab binaries and all other files needed (script, catalog files, setup files, common dll, standard images and icons) that you need to make your own setup and to start to customize it.

  1. Download your setup-kit archive available on your Quixplorer page at [3]
  2. Extract the archive file in your working directory
  3. Apply the customizations you need including :
    • Custom graphical appearance, featuring custom icon, splash screen, and welcome page. See LLMakeCustomVersions.bat
    • Libraries
    • Sample projects
    • arbitrarily complex wizards, for meta-programming or to support to your products (for example, firmware upgrade, automatic generation of text/binary files so on)
    • Additional documentations
  4. Run the Inno Setup compiler script L:\Test\MyCatalog\Setup\LogicLab.iss
  5. Your setup file is created into L:\Test\MyCatalog\Setup\Output folder and ready to be distributed

UPDATE YOUR SETUP-KIT

LogicLab new releases are available on your customer's page. When you need to upgrade your setup-kit to include the new version of LogicLab follow this procedure. Only the LogicLab binaries will be updated, your customization won't be affected.

  1. Download LogicLab redistributable archive available on your customer page at [4]
  2. Copy it to your working directory L:\Test\MyCatalog and extract all files overwriting existing ones.
  3. If you need any further customizations on the catalog then perform them.
  4. Run the Inno Setup compiler script L:\Test\MyCatalog\Setup\LogicLab.iss
  5. Your setup file is created into L:\Test\MyCatalog\Setup\Output folder and ready to be distributed
